Discover the dessert adventure in the Sand Dunes of Khimsar Dunes Village
Located only 8 km from Khimsar Fort & accessible by a metaled road you drive in to explore the Khimsar Dunes Village & enjoy the The Great Indian Thar Desert experience. In rural Rajasthan 75% of the inhabitants typically reside in villages. Of these villagers 80% live on & around their agricultural lands, locally known as “Dhanis’” (dwellings or hamlets). Khimsar Dunes Village represents such Dhanis of huts surrounding a small water body which is rain-fed for providing water for livestock & is an integral part of their livelihood. The sunrise & sunset in the sand dunes are extraordinary ! The shooting stars in the dark desert night are breathtaking to watch.
